Does your USB HD using USB 2 or 1.1? What does dmesg say when you plug
it in?
Effective data rate for USB 2.0 HD is around 40MB/s with nothing else
on the bus, including mouse and keyboard.
Did you look at rsync?

I'm successfully synching my (44GB of) photos, videos, etc to my
portable HDD, but ...
1. It's taking forever (half an hour to check an already-synchronised
tree, or about 24MB/sec)
2. It is copying files when the permissions disagree, even though I
have perms = 0
In short, Unison seems to be ignoring these preferences:
* fastcheck = true
* perms = 0
I tried setting them on the command-line, and also tried a run with
-pretendwin, just in case:
$ unison Documents -perms 0 -fastcheck true
$ unison Documents -perms 0 -fastcheck true -pretendwin
No cigar.
Suggestions?
Douglas.
